Sacred Lotus, Indian Lotus, Chinese Water Lily

Nelumbo nucifera a handsome aquatic herb with stout, creeping rhizome found throughout India, ascending up to 1800 m. Leaves peltate, 60-90 cm. or more in diam., orbicular, glaucous; petioles very long, smooth or with small prickles; flowers solitary, large, top-shaped 5-10 cm in diam., spongy, with many (10 -30) uniovulate carpels sunk separately in cavities on the upper side; carpels maturing into ovoid nut like achenes.

Nelumbo seeds remain viable for many years, some estimates give them up to 1000 years; however, they sprout rapidly when put into water after the surface of the seed has been scraped.
Propagation Seed - file the seed across its centre, being very careful not to damage the flesh of the seed, and soak in warm water, changing the water twice a day until signs of germination are seen, which should be within 3 - 4 weeks at 25°c. Plant in individual pots just covered in water and increase the depth as the plant grows. Division in spring as the plant comes into growth. Be very careful, the plants deeply resent root disturbance.

USDA hardiness 4-8

I found a posting as below;

I've grown this plant for several years now. It is truely an amazing plant! Very fast growing with large beautiful leaves the size of dinner plates! I've grown my plants from seed and had great success! Blooming occurs the second year. The blooms are amazing and worth the wait! I live in zone 9a and I've been successful at overwintering my lotus in the lotus pond bog. I loved this plant so much I created a bog pond just for my lotus! I also created another pre formed pond dedicated to my oldest lotus. I can not say words to describe how beautiful this plant is! I give this plant a shinning 5 star rating! Research on plant facts is advised before growing this plant. It can be tender in some situations. Example: if you cut leaves off by water area you can actually drown the plants tuber and kill the whole plant. So some research before hand is advised. This plant would be the " crown jewel" of your garden! I highly recommend growing this beautiful plant! It will amaze you daily! Fast growth, beautiful flowers and foliage like you have never seen! Very exotic looking! Once you start growing this plant, you can't grow just one! They are so beautiful!

So far with five test seeds, 4 have touches of green after 4 days. I consider that great. So far.

The plants arrived in good condition and larger than I expected. I did ask the seller a question and got a response quickly. The plants are in the pond and I'm waiting for blooms.
